Mcdonald Mentioned for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
W ashington Special
Perhaps Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indiana, is
the most likely man for the Attorney general
ship It is whispered that the late Vice-rresi-
dent Hendricks had enough influence with the
present administration to keep Mr.. Mcdonald
out of the Cabinet when Mr.. Cleveland first
organized his official household. The distin-
guished Indianian is frequent and welcome
visitor at the executive mansion, and the rea-
sons which were against him in March, 1889,
have gone to the grave. The appointment of
Mr. Mcdonald would be an indication OF the
Presidents awakening to the political lmpor-
lance of Indiana. Mr.. Mcdonald is not good
politician but he is popular, and the lndianians
who are politicians would he glad to have him
removed from the State arena The Hoosler
Democrats have been developing good deal OF
talent in craftsmanship in the last three or four
years. and some room will have to be made for
it or there will be explosion and wasteful
distribution of brains over Indiana and the con-
.iguous territory of adjacent States.

Vfncennes Girls Decoyed from Home.

EVANSVILLE, May Hast Saturday after
noon two young, handsome and well-dressed
girls were noticed promenading Up aud down
the streets of the city, accompanied by couple
of actors belonging to the WILDER Comedy Com
pany, which closed engagement here last
night Their actions attracted considerable at
tion and suspicion was at once aroused that all
was not right, and, the sequel plainly shows,
this was correct. At o'clock Saturday night
the chief of police received a telegram from the
authorities at Vincennes to arrest two young
girls named Sachs end Massey, who proved to
be the above couple They were found
registered at Haynes Hotel and
traced to the theater, having shrewdly
adopted assumed names, and as being from
Washington, Ind. they were taken into custody
after the performance. They were detained all
night at the Mayors office and sent home yester-
day morning. They state that they We're de-
coved from home by representations Of tho two
actors Wall and Egan ana that Egan went to
Vincennes last Wednesday j and took dinner with
the family of Miss Sachs. He then arranged to
bring the girls to this city Friday evening They
were met by the actors and remained together
all of Friday night.
Great Indignation has been created by the oc-
currence as the girls belong to highly respectable
families and neither one is over sixteen years
of age. 1t is possible that the two young Lo-
tharios of the WILDER Company may yet find
themselves in serious trouble. through the action

An s.Examiner,, Sensation.

The San Francisco Eraminer of Fri
day contained long dispatch from
Los Angeles alleging that Ex-Governor
J. G. Downey had some years ago
made a proposition OF marriage to
Miss Adds, a young lady who for
merly lived in this city and who is
quite prominent as a newspaper story
writer. The relations OF Governor
Downey in this. city laugh at the story
and do not seem to even have their
"felinSs" hurt by the publication.
The only serious thing in the dispatch
is the insinuation that the old gentle
man is by his relations restrained OF
his liberty, kept close watch over
and that nobody is allowed to see him.
1t says that this surveillance is main-
tanned for the purpose of keeping
Downey out of the way OF Miss Adds,
but it insinuates that the object OF the
venerable statesman's seclusion is to
give somebody else chance to manage
his vast and valuable estate. This is
evidently the animus of the article,
but if the relations of Downey can
afford to laugh at the matter, the gem
eral public can certainly afford
to let it pass. 1t is stated
that Downey is at the house
OF his sister, Mrs. Donohue, at San
Francisco, and can be seen by all who
wish to consult him on business mat
ters but he is kept carefully out OF the
way of designing females. The article

SCHOOL LANDS.
settlers Rights i'm the Territories
Defined.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-In the case
Of Thomas f. Watson, of Washington
Territory, in which was involved the
question of the rights of settlers upon
school lands in the Territories, As
sistant Secretary Muldrow, has de-
cided that under the Act granting the
Territories lands for school purposes,
where the land at the date of the sur
vey is occupied by actual settlers, thei.
right to the land is superior to the
right of the Territory; and that where
school lands at the date of survey ere
occupied by an actual settler, the Ter
ritory is entitled to select equivalent
lands in lieu thereof as indemnity,
and having made such selection, the
indemnity land so selected is to be
held in reservation in lieu of the
school section upon which such selec-
ton was made, and the section by act
of such selection, is excluded from
reservation, and therefore, an entry of
the school section made while the Sc
lection Of equivalent land remained
intact, was valid.
